Wonderful memories of Hokkaido Japan still hold true in my mind. I realize that one year may not seem like much time, but it was a year that had filled my mind with joy and peace and I like to recall those memories often. Even though more than 20 years have come and gone, and time has done its best to try to diminish the memories and cool the love that I once shared with a girl there, time has no jurisdiction on these memories. Those 20 years could not steal or scrape off one sliver of the love I felt for that Japanese girl named Akemi Kyuko, her wonderful country, and the friends that I remember so well and wonder about today.
